Description

The REESE Towpower Brakeman IV is a smart electric brake controller that mounts in any direction with no leveling required. Its small, compact design and pre-wired plug-and-play feature allow for quick and easy connection to 2-, 4-, 6- and 8- brake systems. This 100% solid-state electronic includes two separate easy push-button adjustment controls (output and sync) that allow for not only different trailer weights (output) but also the speed of activation (sync) depending on your driving style. For easy-reading, the bright and prominent digital display clearly indicates the output setting, sync setting, brake overload or short connection. Smoother braking starts with a sensing device that determines the voltage power being delivered to the towing vehicle’s brakes and assists in accurately adjusting the trailer brakes for city or highway driving. Safety is key, which is why this controller includes advanced internal circuit protection to help prevent damage and is meant for use on 12-volt negative ground systems only..

  • Great product for a great price.
Size: Small Style: Brake Control
My original brake controller caught on fire and I needed a quick replacement for it as we were going camping the next weekend. Had this controller over night and installed the next day. It works fantastic! Easy to install and easy to use. I highly recommend this brake controller.

  • Cheap and good
Size: Small Style: Brake Control
I can't find any reason to pay more for anything else. I have one in my old f250 and old f150. They work perfectly, install easily and are super inexpensive.

  • This works on my 2019 Chevy Silverado LD
Size: Small Style: Brake Control
It definitely works as described. if you have a 2019 Chevy Silverado LD you will need to go to the dealership and buy a plug and where the plug plugs in is behind a black cover box right next to the brake under the dash. It is not a plug hanging taped up. You actually have to plug it in to the area where the factory wiring harness plugs in, there’s a plug plug that is open. ... show more

  • Lasted 3 years
Size: Small Style: Brake Control
Had to replace my first one due to an error message that meant something inside the controller was defective. Lost brakes on trailer but lights worked. I decided to replace it with the same unit so I didn’t have to rewire everything. Plug and play. The new unit just plugged into the old wiring and has worked fine so far. Hoping 3 years is not the life expectancy again. ... show more

was a great brake controller farr better than the tractor supply one i had before. has nice adjustment for breaking intensity and how quickly it engages to better fine tune the brakes. i bought the adapter locally since it didnt come with it.
